Before going into the link between the two, one needs to know what a Yantra is. Let us begin there. #VedicAstrology #HappyDiwali2022
Take a DAY for example; as such it has no divisions like hours or minutes, they exist in our minds - regularizes our routine, form a biological & psychological clock ruling all aspects - reproduction, cardiac beats, a work day etc., creating a structure. #VedicAstrology
Time division is one aspect, space another. There's truly no division in space, yet we build houses, mark boundaries - mere sections of space that divide space in our minds giving it a
structure, ensuring people don't trespass others' “personal spaces”. #VedicAstrology
These divisions of space & time help mankind in organised living. This division is a YANTRA. Such YANTRA or manual division of an aspect is fine tuned to an aspect of LIFE in a deity's name - Kāḷi, Śiva, Kubēr etc., they form specific Yantras - focused version. #VedicAstrology
How are these Yantras comprehended? How do we comprehend time? Via CLOCK (geometry of time). How do we comprehend space division? Via Boundaries ( geometry of space). Similarly, to comprehend other aspects of LIFE or conscious existence, one needs similar tools. #VedicAstrology
A drawing on a 2-D plane or a 3-D construction of a solid object, which is also coincidentally called a YANTRA, helps the person to comprehend the geometric divisions of the “aspect” related to the design of YANTRA. #VedicAstrology #HappyDiwali2022
What is the link to astrology? Astrology is not the art of predictions, but the art to study the spiral of evolution. Astrology, in crude terms, mainly has three elements:
The motion of stellar objects & their periodicities form TIME-divisions. For example, the notion of 60 seconds & 60 minutes comes from LCM (least common multiple) Saturn’s (30 years) & Jupiter’s (12 yrs) periodic revolution as seen from Earth. #VedicAstrology #HappyDiwali2022
Similarly, their apparent projection on Earth i.e., “as seen from Earth”, which changes from place to place causes a SPACE-division. These two form a matrix of the DIVISION of LIFE which is theorized to rule the life on Earth, by the said stellar objects. #VedicAstrology
These divisions when interfaced to human comprehension become the many discovered YANTRAS (geometrical patterns) and associated MANTRAS (Periodic vocal utterances). #VedicAstrology #HappyDiwali2022
For example, Gāyatri mantra (or Sāvitri mantra) - having 24 syllables has direct link to SUN which divides the DAY on Earth into 24 hrs. Similarly, other mantras and planets. Same with Yantra associated with Mantras/stellar objects.
Also because He is the destroyer of the devatas, as per a Smrti shloka quoted by Svaami Vijayeendra Teertha Shripaadagalu, in Shaiva-Sarvasva Khandanam of Nyaayamauktikamaala.

निगृह्य हरते यस्मात्तस्माद्धरिरहोच्यते ।
Being the destroyer who destroys Brahmaa, Indra, Rudra, Yama & Varuna, he is known as ‘Hari’.
Shukracharya: A great knowledgeable person who was respected even by Devas and Saints. He was an expert in Political Science. He founded the Shukra Niti. In his niti he has laid down the following points:
#SanatanaDharma #hinduism https://t.co/syF74bOq87twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
One should never reveal certain things in front of others.
It’s great if you are loved and respected by all, but don’t show it off in front of others- doing so will lower your respect in the eyes of others
#SanatanaDharma #hinduism https://t.co/2pRf0avyqJtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
If you have to face insult at any point in your life, it’s best to keep it to yourself; telling that to everyone you know will make you feel insulted in front of others as well.

Tantra is an abstract religion, it doesn't have a clear definition. Different seekers define it differently, many not even consistent with each other. Tantra, though, is clearly recognized as being very different from the ancient Hindu Vedic tradition. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Before trying to delve into tantrism, it is important to understand that this is not a single coherent system. It is rather a tradition that gradually evolved from an accumulation of practices and rituals, in order to attain the grace of the divine. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The practitioner of tantra uses his own prana or divine energy in order to harness it to the universal prana, thereby attaining his goal. The goal in question could be either spiritual, material or both. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Tantra in Hinduism could be considered to be parallel to the Hindu Vedic tradition. Tantra contains written records of the Agama, which comes in four main parts, as follows: #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Jnana or metaphysical knowledge
Yoga or meditative practices
Kriya or ritual practices
Charya or ethical and religious principles of conduct #SanatanaDharma#Hinduism
Most of the staunch Hindu Vedic practitioners, however, consider the Tantras to be anti-Vedic in character and hence, altogether shun both the cult and the practitioners of the same. #SanatanaDharma#Hinduismtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The universe consists of a Mahabrahmanda, or grand Cosmos, and of numerous Brihatbrahmanda, or macrocosms evolved from it. As is said by the Nirvana Tantra, all which is in the first is in the second. #spirituality#Cosmostwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
In the latter are heavenly bodies and beings, which are microcosms reflecting on a minor scale the greater worlds which evolve them. "As above, so below." This mystical maxim of the West is stated in the Vishvasara Tantra as follows: #spirituality#Cosmostwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
